    The "Vision" housing--bad, good, or "meh"?

    You'd be surprised how many people still call us that know someone or saw someone hunting with a "Vision" but they can't find it on the website or in the catalog anywhere. Or if a Dealer has his personal unit to demo the v3i for the customer but the customer just wants to make sure that it's...

    The "Vision" housing--bad, good, or "meh"?

    1 - There is a code for the serial numbers, so saying was it's the 20th Vision ever made is not necessarily a true statement. 2 - When it was upgraded, there should have been an "i" sticker put on the outside of the control box, unless someone removed it. 3 - You said you were told "the only...

    v3i polar plot

    If you have the V3 -version 1.1, 1.2 or 1.3 , there is no polar plot screen available - that is one of the features included in the V3i upgrade.

    Factory reset

    It really is not a bunch of crap - I work at one of ten White's Distribution Centers, and we are the only one, other than the Service centers, with the equipment and authorization to recalibrate VX3's, V3's or V3i's. And as was mentioned in previous posts, you can go back to the original...

    Great experience with White's CS & the latest V3UP firmware?

    There is no upgrade to the firmware - the "UP" after V3 in the software serial number is an indication of where it was worked on. - Which UP is the repair center. SE is for us here at the distribution center White's of the Southeast. It's a way of identifying where the unit has been - for...

    Fake detectors

    I work at one of the 10 White's Distribution Centers in the US and we have not seen any reports from the factory about fake VX3's - so whomever you called would have been correct in their statement about Chinese fakes. We've only had one report from the factory about a fake White's detector and...

    I am undecided on a DFX or VX3

    I would go for the VX3 because of the Wireless Headphone option and the VX3 upgradeable. With the DFX, yes it's a deal with the coils but the rechargeable battery and charger come as standard equipment - so you are not getting a deal there. Hope this helps, Andrea

    whites should offer a class

    We (White's of the Southeast, Distributor for FL-GA) have our Southeast Regional Rep, George Shryock, who has done several classes and seminars for various groups around Florida. Which is great, but I had a thought, what if he and other expert users were able set up to do a number of...

    Fake detectors

    This is the site that we joined and attempted to order a detector but nothing was ever shipped. We used paypal, which at the time had just been added as a payment option. I think the other payment options were check or money order. Fortunately, for us after a paypal investigation we got our...

    Is your Whites genuine?

    People are always going to "price shop" and continue to look for the cheapest price they can get. It's just the nature of the beast. But here's one for ya - There was a website asking seriously dirt cheap prices for detectors with White's and other detector manufacturer logo's. We made an...

    Different signal%

    Prester So what your saying is that you take one coil and put it on both V3i's..... When the coil is on your friend's V3i it can pass the test using the settings I posted earlier. But when the same coil is on your V3i it does not pass the test using the settings that I posted earlier. AND no...

    Different signal%

    I think what he is saying is during general hunting his V3i (2-v3i) will overload at lower rx setting and cannot support higher settings than his friends V3i (1-V3i). This is what he posted on White's forum: "in general use, 2-v3i, overload before the 1-v3i 2-v3i, support lower gain rx" I...

    V3i still under warranty

    Actually, a dealer could very well have a Vision or a V3 in inventory that would still come with the full warranty. Come to think of it, I do have a dealer in Fl that still has a Vision with Wireless Headphones in inventory (is not upgraded) - which will come with the full 2 year warranty when...

    VX3 questions for the newbies.......

    Initially, I thought an upgrade would be a great idea. Then after some thought I really don't see the factory offering an upgrade from the VX3 to a V3i - We talked about this a few days ago and figured they won't do an upgrade because that would just undermine V3i sales, especially if it were...

    Starting to get fed up with V3i.... when on beach

    I don't think this is the issue that you're having but thought I'd post it anyway, this is tip from Steve Howard at the factory: In mineralized grounds, setting the V3/V3i down to dig, upon re-standing to continue searching, auto track will have caused error in the ground rejection setting...
